Lionel Messi(Football player) custom(Preview in Page.4)

[axecutioner18]

Wow! astounding great job, I just wish the hair could be a little longer, this one is too short for any of his looks his hair at any stage reaches the back of his neck also a little messed up hair like it is during a match will be great!

Also will we be able to have him neckless as an option please?

Also what is the accurate body for this sculpt's scale size? Can you post a comparison pic for its size beside some existing sculpt?

Thanks Denny! Once I get sure of all these I will send you the mail for my order of this! cant wait for a Messi sculpt in my hands!

P.S Some of us would love to get the clothing for him too!

And, unfortunately, we have no plan to modify it now, it's finished work ^^
Detailed work with painted sample and body information will be given~ after new year's holiday~

Happy new year! ~ I gotta go bed~~

Re: Lionel Messi(Football player) custom

he too for me is the best player I've ever witnessed play the game! Hala Messi!

You may want to yell 'Força* Messi!' instead. 'Hala' is what Real Madrid supporters say to encourage their team and sounds completely alien to a Barça fan.

* Pronounce 'Forsa' as in Barsa. That's Catalan for 'Go Messi', too, similar to the Italian word 'Forza'.

I'd like to see the figure in a barca shirt though, as opposed to the Argentina one...

Hear, hear.

Hi Guys, here is the preview photos of Messi.

painting with photoshop, real painting will be done later

That's a great headsculpt! Isn't the hair a bit on the short side, though? Or maybe I'm just not used to see him with his hair so neatly combed.

Hear, hear.

Yo, I went to see Messi live in an Argentina match, where he assisted for the solitary Argentina Goal. The Argentinian chaps around me were shouting Ale Messi and Hala Messi!? So I kinda thought thats what they do to cheer for him?!

I know Madristas say 'Hala Madrid' but... ah well. I was never a Madrid hater though, however since Mourinho took over and all I see them do is try beat the crap out of Barca instead of playing football, Ive lost all respect for them. Earlier Clasicos were a beautiful exhibition and there was a sense of respect for the opposition at a level.

Now its become a WWE style game with a pre-match 'storyline' and some spine busting action and histronics...

You actually may have a point there, my bad. That was me thinking only as a Barça supporter, so it did hurt my eyes.

Oh, and you're absolutely right about the excessive aggression of late.

BTW, sorry I went on about the hair, Denny, didn't notice there was a second page to this thread.

 

[Platty]

Man you and your team can sculpt!!

 

[Rock83]

damn that's a very impressive sculpt of the best player in the world,well done.

One thing though,i don't recall Messi having THAT short hair,but i could be wrong.He always was more thicker on the sides above the ears though,like this.

Looking forward to see what choice youve made for a body,a standard 1/6 body wouldn't work.How about a Barcelona kit?I have no idea where to start the search for a full set of Barca Kit,shorts,socks and shoes.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

who is Lionel Messi? Why not a David Beckham or Christiano Ronaldo?

 

[Rock83]

Because Messi is better than both ever was combined.

You dont know who is Messi and you manage to come up with the names of these guys? Not really into football are you?
BTW this question is answered when put it in context with your previous one

Because Messi is better than both ever was combined.

I was wanting this sculpt to be Neckless so I could use it on a HT Brue Lee body, its the same height of Messi so should be in scale. And once in full kit all those muscles and all wont be visible or noticeable (Messi does were a very loose kit)
I was also asking them to see if they can give us a kit it would really help and maybe sell as a ful figure, it will be popular if football fans knew about this. (However being unlicensed t may get a clampdown by Barca)

or we might just have to end up chipping in to commission someone for a kit

hi guys,

I checked the sculpt and it's a bit bigger to use smaller body.
so the best thing is to use with normal slim body.(the head is a bit bigger so the propotion looks ok)

I am checking to make 30 full figure sets for this.
(not yet confirmed but will let you know in a week)

Thanks

Denny

Denny Count me in for a Full Set!

Which one do you guys prefer? National uniform or Barcelona one.

Which one do you guys prefer? National uniform or Barcelona one.

Barcelona obviously, however instead of the new season's Quatar Foundation logo one, we would like the previous 2010-2011 season uniform. This one, its easier to make as there are not that many stripes and the logos are lesser
Here are some references:

Front

Back

And here is a break up of the Champisn League Barca kit But it is Iniestas so dont take the number or name:

and a closer reference pics of the of the badges on the kit on a larger template

Remember he likes to wear his JERSEY OVERSIZED! And a full sleeve undershirt like in the picture can hide the joints and make the figure loo better!
This is what it looks like live on him:

These are the shoes he wears most of the time:

If you need anymore information or pictures I will gladly help!

 

[axecutioner18]

Also Im sure the Argentina Kit wil maybe make it easier to produce and cheaper to make so here are Argentina kit details. This is the present 2011 kit

A close up for the detail on the chest badge

And here is Messi in the kit

Here are the shoes he wears when playing for Argentina in the new 2011 season (Which are the same shoes for the Barca season as above)

Here's a pic of him playing on the field in the new kit and the shoes:

Remember he is the captain of Argentina now, so a Captain's Armband is also necessary then like here:

 

[denny kim]

Thank you guys for information.

We need some time to figure it out. ^^
Thanks

Denny

 

[denny kim]

hi Guys,

We will make the uniform of Barcelona, but for football and shoes will use the existing ones in the market.
So it will be not too expensive.(If we make shoes and ball as custom, the fullset will be too high cost which many of you guys don't want to spend a lot)

Anyway, once it's done, I will let you know~
Painting is not done yet~ now we are casting the sample head in right color and maybe next week, I can show you the completed painted head.

Thanks!

Denny
